Monaco Grand Prix 2022:

After that one awful pitstop and the expletives that spilled out of Charles' mouth in pure anger and frustration as he got back on track, it all seemed unsalvageable in the monégasque's eyes. It was set in stone in his mind that this weekend would be nothing but a disappointing memory that he would have learn from only to store it away and ignore it for the rest of his life after that.

For now, he didn't really know how he'd end up dealing with the painfully fresh memory, but he knew one thing for sure: he didn't expect to look back on the weekend with a satisfied smile.

You had been watching the race from the pit lanes, switching between the Alpha Tauri garage and the Ferrari one so you would be able to listen to your two best friends' team radios. Your eyes furiously came back to the grid positions every few seconds as the race neared its end, anxiously watching for any changes in the positions.

You were in the Ferrari garage, red headphones on your ears so you could listen to Charles' radio when he was asked to box. That's when shit hit the fan and a rather good race turned into a disaster. Your body acted on its own, ripping the headphones off you ears, simply not bearing to hear Charles' angry, pained voice screaming curse words like he had nothing else to say. Because, let's be real, he probably didn't.

Your eyes closed as you realized how bad this was. It was almost painful, the silence that took over the room as Charles' name dropped down to P4. The thought of how much disappointment Charles was dealing with right now squeezed at your heart and made your throat dry.

You just let your legs carry you out of the Ferrari garage and you walked in silence towards the Alpha Tauri one, knowing that the atmosphere there wouldn't be much better but still desperately wanting to escape the heavy aura of the red-dominated room.

You stayed there until all the cars passed the checkered flag and Pierre appeared amongst his team members. He shook everyone's hands, a consoling attempt from both sides, then he finally reached you giving you a quick friendly hug that showed how much he appreciated your presence there.

You never knew what to say in these situations, so you just settled for a small "Hard luck." and a sympathetic smile. Pierre responded with a small nod and a half-hearted smile.

Seconds of silence dragged on as you and Pierre stood there.

"Vas à lui. Il a besoin de toi maintenant." Go to him. He needs you right now.

It was slightly selfish, but your heart wouldn't bear being around a disappointed Charles. You just knew you'd end up blurting out anything that would make him feel better, even if that meant spilling things you wanted to keep to yourself.

"He has Arthur and his mother with him. You're alone here, Pierre."

"No, y/n. He needs you by his side after today." He emphasized the 'you' in his statement. Even after the bad race he had, a glimmer of mischief sparkled in the French driver's eyes, twisting the meaning of his words in many confusing ways.

The questioning looks you gave Pierre made him give you a little push and a small, encouraging "Go!"

For some reason, Pierre's insistence made you hurl to the bright red garage, only to find it mostly empty except for some team members. Enough time had passed since the race. Charles had probably already passed by here and was probably even done with the media and press duties he had post-race.

Your shoulders slouched in a short-lived moment of surrender before you started sprinting to the motorhome, knowing that would be where you'd find Charles.

Thankfully, you were right. Charles was in his driver's room. He seemed to be picking up a few things and packing them in a duffel bag so he could head home.

"Charles..." You started but quickly found that your words were crushed under the weight of the situation.

He turned to look at you the second his name rolled off your lips. It might sound dramatic, but you could almost see his guard being let down, the unreadable look on his face quickly getting replaced by an honest, vulnerable one. He finally allowed his body to relax and he sat on the massage table behind him.

"I'm so sorry about today." You managed, taking a cautious step towards him.

Charles, when upset, usually kept to himself and bottled up all his feelings, so it was safe to say that you didn't expect his hand to wrap around your wrist nor for him to pull you in to stand between his parted legs.

"J'en ai marre de ça, y/n." I'm sick of this, y/n. He mumbled, pulling you close and hugging you around the stomach.

"Je sais." I know. You didn't have the right words to say so you just rubbed circles on his back with one hand and ran your fingers through his tangled hair with other, not caring that it was still slightly damp with sweat.

You hoped it helped him feel a little better, but you highly doubted that so you just let him stay wrapped around you for as long as he needed. You didn't mind staying that way until he decided he okay to pull away.

The staff, on the other hand, had other plans.

"Charles, i'm really sorry but they need to start deconstructing the motorhome." Someone spoke from outside the room. Charles pulled away, his expression scarily impatient, his eyes closed as he took a deep breath in attempt to calm himself down.

"C'mon." He disguised the urge to ask you to come home with him with the small word but you understood him and you didn't find one reason to why you shouldn't accompany him. If he needed you by his side, even if it was just as a friend, that is where you were gonna be. At least for today, you were willing to ignore your feelings for the guy that was currently guiding you out of the Ferrari motorhome towards the outdoors.

Once you were outside, you felt his hand wrap around yours. It shocked you enough that your gaze immediately shifted down to look at your hands. Charles, apparently just as surprised by his gesture, studied your face, trying so hard to read you expression and understand how you felt towards that. You didn't really know what reaction he wanted so you concealed all the feelings this gave you, keeping your expression neutral.

His lips pursed and he started making his way towards his black Ferrari. You followed him with a head swirling with a million thoughts.

The drive to his apartment was overruled by a comfortable but confused silence. Fans had stopped him on his way out of the parking space, waving at him but keeping a distance, clearly aware of the race results.

Once you reached your destination, Charles told you to make yourself at home before he disappeared into his bedroom.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower." He appeared in the doorframe, shirtless with a towel draped over his arm.

You nodded, looking away as you felt your cheeks blush. You saw him disappear again out of the corner of your eye.

Letting out a breath you were holding, you rid yourself of your light jacket and headed towards his kitchen to make him something to eat.

It was shocking how fast Charles' quick shower was. You didn't expect him to walk into the kitchen so soon, but there he was, hair still wet, watching you from one of the chairs by the kitchen table.

"You don't have to make food."

"Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it."

He nodded and thanked you before the room fell back into silence.

You were reaching to grab a plate when you heard Charles' voice again.

"I don't know why i feel like this is the right time to say this but I can't see you as a friend anymore."

His words immobilized you momentarily but you quickly recovered and spun around to face him.

"I'm sorry, what?" You didn't know if you were confused or hurt. Whatever it was that you were feeling, it wasn't good.

Here you were, keeping him company in his apartment after a bad race and making him food, trying to make up for his bad day and he still had the audacity to tell you he didn't see you as a friend anymore.

"I just can't be friends with you anymore," you didn't wait for him to finish. You dropped everything you had in your hands onto the counter and quickly started making your way back to his living room so you could grab your phone and get going.

However, his damn fast reactions kicked in and his arm wrapped around your waist just as you were gonna pass him.

He stood up before he continued his previously interrupted sentence.

"... i like you too much to be okay with being your friend. Je veux être beaucoup plus que cela." I want to be way more than that.

At this point, he didn't need to hold you back from walking away. That thought was long gone and instead, you quickly turned to face him. Your mind didn't register it fast enough because it just sounded too good to be true.

Pierre's insistence that you go to Charles after the race instead of staying with him suddenly started making sense.

You stared at your best friend in disbelief, you mind still processing the fact that he just said the words you thought you'd never hear from him. It seemed like you brain was too busy memorizing this moment instead of busying itself with coming up with a response.

You just stood there admiring the guy you've liked for so long, since both of you were children begging your parents to sleep over at each others' houses, and the look on his face as he expressed feelings you could've only dreamt he felt.

"Now would be the time to say something." He grimaced awkwardly, his mind already running over the list of ways this weekend could tumble even lower down the scale of catastrophe. He was desperately trying to get insight on wether or not this was a good idea.

Without even realizing what you were doing nor thinking the action through, your arms reached up and wrapped around his neck, inhaling the comforting scent of his shampoo and basking in the the comfort of being so close to him. At that moment, you literally felt him relax and exhale in relief, his own arms wrapping around your waist in a delicate embrace while he hid his face in your neck.

The fact that you could feel his heart beat against your own body gave you goosebumps all over. However, it seemed like for now the only thing you cared about was how amazingly safe you felt in his toned arms. It felt like that's where you belonged in the first place. It felt like home.

After that, Charles decided that eating on the table would put too much distance between the two of you so you ended up on his couch, your legs draped over one of his and two plates of food in your laps as he ranted about his day before he made sure to ask you about yours.

As it neared midnight, you started getting anxious about leaving alone this late, especially since you were getting sleepy.

"Charles, i really need to leave." You started getting up, but he wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you even closer.

"Leaving? Why? Just stay here."

Previously, there were moments in your friendship with Charles where the limit lines blurred and you ended up cuddling in bed until both you fell asleep. You never thought it was weird since you had grown up around Charles and the both of you grew up thinking it was normal. Therefore, it didn't really make sense to him that you were planning to leave tonight after all that happened.

It barely took any convincing from his side before you were dressed in his sweats and cuddled up with him in his bed.

The night passed in a blur of confessions and sloppy kisses and before you knew it, sunlight came into the room uninvited, reminding you that even if you felt like the two of you were the only ones to exist in this world, reality still says otherwise.

You woke up to two text messages from pierre.

"I haven't heard from both u and Charles since yesterday so i guess last night went like i thought it would." The first text read, the other one being a string of winking emojis.

You didn't have time to respond since Charles, still mostly asleep, grabbed your phone out of your hand, dropped it onto the mattress and pulled you back into him as you giggled.

Silverstone Race week 2022:

A full month since monaco. A full month since you and Charles started dating.

Precisely, on the Wednesday before the british race, the 29th, a full month would've passed.

It was the Monday just before that. Charles was flying to you tomorrow, planning to spend the day here before the both of you head to Britain. Pierre, on the other hand flew in on Sunday just like you asked him to.

Throughout the past month, Charles had gone out of his way to spend as much time with you as was possible. The amount of dates he had managed to sneak into his schedule was absurd, especially since the dates involved one of you flying to the other. You wanted to do something nice for him. That's where Pierre, who was ecstatic when he found out the two of you were dating, came into play.

While watching a movie with Charles once, there was a scene where the two main characters went on a date on the beach right as sunset started. He had said that he's always wanted to try that so, naturally, you were planning to recreate that for him.

You saved up some money and rented out a section of a beachside restaurant, spilling some additional cash so they would give you full privacy and control over the space for a few hours. You insisted on the privacy part of the deal since your relationship with Charles was still a secret. No one other than Pierre and your families knew.

Along with your french best friend, you went shopping and got all the things you needed, from cooking ingredients down to small candles to decorate with.

Pierre stared complaining once he realized he was going to have to help you with all the cooking, but he still did it nonetheless, telling you that he expects any future Leclerc children to hold his name due to his big contribution in making the relationship happen.

"Dude, what the hell? We've been dating for a month! Easy on us, please." You had replied.

Tuesday noon, you climbed into your car and headed straight to the airport to pick up Charles. He met you in the parking lot and gave you the biggest kiss once he settled in your passenger seat.

As was planned, Pierre was nowhere to be found when Charles and you returned to your apartment. He was probably already finishing up the preparations of the things you had bought yesterday.

As sunset neared, you started bugging Charles that he should get up and get dressed because you wanted to show him a spot you discovered. After some bickering about that, he ended up putting on some white shorts and a loose beige button down. You couldn't help but smile as you realized he had unknowingly picked out the perfect outfit for what you had planned and that the color of his shirt was almost identical to the color of your sundress.

Halfway through the drive, you stopped on the side of the road to blindfold Charles with a bandana you brought with you. You also sent Pierre a quick message telling him he should disappear from the restaurant in about 5 minutes, then you resumed the journey.

"I don't like this, y/n. I'm getting nauseous." Charles had complained many times, even after you had parked your car and started helping him out of it.

"5 more seconds, i swear." You assured him as you guided him down the beach. Luckily, there was a pavement that gilded through the sand so he hadn't picked up on where you two were yet.

Once you reached the spot you and Pierre prepared, you turned around to make sure everything looked good before telling Charles to take off the blindfold.

It looked golden, in a way.

The sun was just about to start setting, its light harmonizing perfectly with the one coming from the littered candles and the lanterns paving the way to the dinner set up. Instead of setting up a table, you had used a big white tablecloth directly on the sand and placed many pillows and cushions on its edges. Right in the middle was the food Pierre had helped you prepare, distributed neatly on white plates. In a big bucket of ice on the side, there was a bottle of white wine ready to be served and just beside that, there was a bouquet of red tulips and white baby's breaths, the only pop of color that meets the eye.

You had chosen the tulips because they meant 'thank you' and you were thankful for Charles. The baby's breath, on the other hand, was a different story. The florist told you it symbolized everlasting love, and even though you have not said it before, but you loved Charles in a way that felt like it would most-literally define the meaning of the word "everlasting".

"You can open your eyes." You spoke after intertwining your fingers with his.

You watched Charles as he ripped the bandana off with his free hand, his expression completely changing as his eyes met the sight in front of him. His lips were parted and his eyes were glistening, his hold on your arm tightening.

"Oh mon dieu, y/n." Oh my god, y/n. He gasped.

"I don't know if you remember when you told me you wanted to go on a beach date, but i wanted to surprise you with one. Plus, tomorrow is the 29th, so it's been a month since Monaco, what means that we've-" he cut off your rambling with a passionate kiss, his lips feeling perfect against yours, an amazing combination of sweet and firm.

"Je n'comprend pas comment tu es si parfaite. Ça- Ça c'est magnifique, et toi... Mon dieu, tu es tout ce que j'ai toujours voulu." I don't understand how you're so perfect. This- this is amazing, and you... My god, you're all i've ever wanted. He said after breaking the kiss, pulling you as close to him as was possible, planting small kisses on your forehead between his words.

"Tu merite bien plus que ça, Charles." You deserve way more than this, Charles. You kissed his cheek and snuggled into his chest while he continued staring in disbelief.

Seeing him smiling like that was all you wanted out of life. Seeing his eyes glimmer with so much happiness made you want to spend forever making him happy. You were never superstitious nor religious but, standing right there with him made you want to beg every higher power and wish on every shooting star, passing airplane and dandelion that you'd get to spend the rest of your life with this man.

He looked over at you, his gaze making it hard to breathe while also setting your soul free and making your heart dance with utmost joy.

If the kind of love that comes once in a lifetime and sticks around until your very last breath actually existed, this was definitely it for you.

"I love you, Charles. I think i was already starting to in Monaco, but now i feel it so strongly and i just can't hold it in anymore." The words spilled out of your mouth once your body felt like it was overflowing with the love you felt for the man stood beside you.

To your relief, the words made Charles' smile grow.

"I love you too, mon ange." My angel. He kissed the top of your head. "Je t'aime tellement beaucoup plus que je ne le pensais possible." I love you way more than I thought was possible.

His words had such a strong effect on you. They made your heart want to escape its cage and leap towards his. You've just never felt happier.

After that, you both sat and ate.

Charles literally blushed when you gave him the flowers and explained their meanings to him. It nearly made your heart burst, seeing him so flustered over something you did.

You were sat between his legs, his arms wrapped around your shoulders in a loving embrace when he propped his phone up on one of the cushions beside him without you noticing, immortalizing the moment perfectly in a photo. You had your head tilted back slightly, your eyes closed and one your hands wrapped around his arm while the other reached behind you to cup his face as he kissed your cheek, your surroundings illuminated softly with the glow of lanterns and small candles.

The moment he showed you the picture, you fell in love with it, making him smile.

"How about we use it to let the world know? I just want post it in my story and brag about having you in my arms." He suggested in a tone that made it clear that he was just testing the waters. He wasn't going to pressure you into anything but he just wanted you to know he was ready to share this with everyone.

You quickly turned to look at him. You found him waiting for a response with full seriousness.

"You actually want to do that?"

He nodded, "As long as you want it too. We don't have to do it yet but I'll probably end up using this picture no matter when." He chuckled, looking back down at his phone screen.

You admired his smiling face and his blushed cheeks and asked yourself why you were hiding the fact that you get to call him yours from the world anyway. Looking at him alone made you grin like a lovesick idiot, for God's sake.

"Post it." You smiled and he looked up at you with so much love it nearly made you squirm.

"Tu es certaine?" Are you sure?

You nodded and kissed him.

Less than a minute later, he put his phone away, signifying that your relationship was now as public as it can get. You heart beat faster as both excitement and nervousness coursed through you, but Charles touch on your skin was quick to dispose of any negative thoughts.

When you were back home, you logged into instagram and hundreds of notifications rolled in.

You ignored them and just clicked on Charles' story to see what he had posted. Sure enough, the picture from earlier appeared on your screen, the only addition being very few words Charles added on the bottom corner.

"I don't think it gets better than this." The small text box read and right below it was your username, signifying that Charles had mentioned you.

You heart swelled at the little sentence he had chosen to add and you found yourself replaying the story over and over again before finally sharing in onto your own profile, the grin never leaving your face.

After that, you sent Pierre a quick message, inviting him over for breakfast tomorrow, thanking him repeatedly for his help and letting him know that everything went well.

"I know."

"I just liked his story." He replied, shamelessly referencing the many internet memes about him liking posts on instagram. It was funny, you couldn't deny that.

You sat and thought about the upcoming race weekend while Charles' singing voice sounding from the shower filled the apartment, grounding you and assuring you that this was in fact your reality, even if it felt too good to be true.

This weekend, you'd finally get to walk around the paddock with Charles without going out of your way to look like platonic friends like you had done the previous race. This weekend, you'd finally get to walk around with his hand in yours and with the whole world knowing that he was your boyfriend. The thought alone made your stomach fill with butterflies,

It seems like Charles was right after all. It doesn't get much better than this, does it?

How can it get better when this is already so perfect?

|[Memories of you • • •]|

Summary: Memories… oh how precious they can be… but they can also be a little shitty too when there’s someone that you’re trying to forget…. But forgetting can be hard too, since you’re everywhere within everything…

Warning: grammar errors, not proffered, “yandere” Izana, slight OOC Izana, hardcore angst T^T (maybe..?) 😅🥲, a bit of profanity, Izana being a little big of a pervert (verbally)

Quote by: Martha Shaw

This is the Second part of “Selfish really..”

Inspiration: Glass Animals: HeatWaves

A/n: hope you all enjoy it, also; did I make you all suffer? 😈 that was my master plan!! My plan was to “leave it” as it is and then BAM anonymously make a pt2 😌💥💥💥

“Izana… come on, you can’t stay in there forever…” Kakucho call out behind the locked door.

It’s been a year since your marriage; it took place somewhere in the Fall… a Fall wedding. Although; it wasn’t a winter wedding; you were still contempt. Well, course you were! You were happily marrying the man of your “dreams”.

‘Bullllll shit, the man of my dreams; tch, my ass.’ Izana scoffed at his own thought. He was on his couch, changing the channels of the TV. He didn’t really care what it was, he just wanted something to do.

But… You always did wished for “Christmas Weddings”.... or whatever you use to call it.

Izana was going to, and with all his heart; give you that dame dream wedding. But obviously! It ain’t gonna ever happen. So ‘might as well throw that dame dream in the motha fuc- ..freak—…ing trash…’

“Oh right… she didn’t want me saying bad words anymore…” Izana chuckled, as he remembered the memory. You scolded him for saying too much profanity; hell! you even made him keep his word to not think about it.

[[•MEMORY LANE•]]

“Izana! You know no woman will ever want you if you keep using such vile language!” You scolded him. You had your arm around his, as you both walked down the street. You pretty little eyes, look up at him. Trying to convince him somehow.

But; it wasn’t working, how can he take you seriously with such a cute face. All he wanted to do was kiss that little pout off. “Sorry Angel, I just-can’t help it. It’s in my “blood”, my vocabulary. So there’s no way, can’t stop it.” He grins, teasingly.

You scoffed and rolled your eyes. “We’ll don’t go crying to me if the girl of your dreams doesn’t stay by your side. All because of that ugly habit of yours.” You state, looking ahead of the street.

Izana puts his hand over his heart, as he hisses then cringes, at your affirmation. He fakes his heartbreak, but in reality; he was rather amused

“Ah, we’ll shit. There goes my chances-“

“Izana!”

“I’m kidding!” He jokes. He proceeds to take ahold of your cheek, and playfully squish it. A charming smile plastered on his face. You whine in pain and annoyance.

“Anyways,” Izana says, as he lets go of your face. In a loving manner, he gently smooths your cheek; trying to smooth out the pain.

“I saw this new cafe shop that just opened two days ago wanna go check it out-“ Before Izana could even finish his suggestion, you cut him off with you finger being place on his soft lip.

“No, no, no, Mister. Before you start taking me out on dates. You gotta promise me you won’t say anymore bad words from now on. Understood,” You state, without realizing what you called your hangouts a “date”.

“Ooooh, so your taking me out on dates now are we~” Izana mischievously teases you. Stunned by his response, you shook you head in embarrassment. Your cheeks had a cherry hue to it. You hadn’t realized your mistake of calling your hangouts a “date”. Until now…

“Oh! N-no, no, t-that’s not what I meant! W-What I was j-just saying is that I-“ you stutter your words out.

“No, no, no Angel! You said it’s a date. Therefore; it’s a date. No more taking it back~ it’s too late!” Izana cheerfully exclaim. A big smile was on his face, as yours was flushed. He takes your hand off his arm and hold it, he excitedly strolls the stress making his way to the café. With you, by his side.

[[•PRESENT TIME: CAFE•]]

Now here he is, the exact cafe where you had token him. With some chick Kakucho set him up with.

She was beautiful, he’ll give her that. Her (Hc) curls, reached up to her shoulders. Her hair was parted to the side, as some of her baby hairs would fall on her face.

Her soft orbs, gazes at him. As she smiles lightly; before looking down, proceeding to take a bit of her grilled cheese sandwich. The very same one, you’d order… with a fucking cookie to the side.

Well fuck, it’s like the universe is trying to mock  him. Laughing and spitting at his face; saying he’ll never end up with a true beauty, such as yourself. I guess that’s true; since he’s here now so.

Her soft voice cuts off his train of thought, which he was disappointed with. Since that’s all he wanted to do today… “How’s your sandwich Izana?” She smiled softly, knowing full well he hasn’t even touched it. He shrugs, not really giving her an actual answer.

She thinks nothing of his rude behavior, and again; smiles it off. As if it was nothing….

[[•TIME SKIP•]]

Throughout the whole date, Izana only shrugged off her questions, and gave the poor girl; small answers, to hard questions.

Although; as always, she smiled it off. She Dismissed his attitude, including his rude behavior towards her.

Which kinda really irritates him a bit. ‘Why is she acting like as if I’m not being an asshole to her; maybe it was because you did the exact same, dame, thing. Dame, there’s way too many similarities that she and you had. This frustrated him like no other… but why?

Maybe it was because he was actually enjoying the date…

Maybe because he was actually attracted to this girl…

….

No, no, no he can’t be.. can he? Was he actually… forgetting about you? Cause.. all he saw.. was her. At that very moment. Or maybe it’s because there’s nothing here that reminds him.. of you.

Was he actually just smiling right now, at her; and not you? He promised himself he’d never smile at anyone but you.

Because that smile only belongs to you…

…….

The girl, smiled up at him, a noticeably pink hue crosses her face. She soft eyes, looks deep into his. Infatuation within them, as they both walked through the familiar park, hand-in-hand.

They both walked along the park, people admiring them from afar. Some whispered what a ‘perfect couple’ they’d make. And Izana believed it.. he actually believed that, they’d make a ‘perfect couple’.

Because, She made sense to him. She didn’t judge him for his past.. that he surprisingly opened up to her. Nor did she mind that he used to be in a gang of criminals…. Hell, even was a leader of one…

She found his dreams of wanting to soon, open up a orphanage for orphan children; very admirable, and beautiful.

Maybe this date wasn’t so bad after all—!

“Oh look Izana! A hidden pond! Let’s go, let’s go!” Bella, exclaim. Taking Izana hand running towards, the said pond.

…oh no..

Why, why of all places did Bella have to choose this one.

But of course; at the same time, he didn’t blame her. It was a very beautiful pond. A pond that belonged to you, and him…. ‘Our little secret’ he remembered.

“I guess our little secret is out now huh?..” Izana thought outloud. As by both stood in front of the said pound..

“Huh? What secret?” Bella questions, as she looks towards Izana, who was looking ahead. Admiring and remembering the day you both discovered it…

You fell in the pond….

[[•MEMORY LANE•]]

“Ahh!!” You screamed in horror, Izana snapped his head looking towards you. He was just peacefully looking around the area, thinking to himself that not many people know about this place.

Izana had tried to quickly catch you from your fall; and failed. You were now soaking wet, you hysterical coughed. Since some of the water went into your.. mouth..

Izana quickly went into the pond with you, and lifts you in the air. Carrying you bridal style, he stood there, letting you catch your breath.

He started to make his way out of the pond, making attentive steps along the way. As he made it out, he looked towards the pond; and noticed a small stick, sticking up.

“Really (Yn). A stick made you slip?” He mocks, as he carefully, sat you down on the grass; his jacket being placed on your shoulders.

“Oh I’m sorry! I just somehow didn’t notice a invisible stick! That’s literally blends with nature!” You huffed, pulling his jacket close to you.

Izana only rolled his eyes. He then proceeded to smirks at you. “What the hell are you smirking at!” You asked or more like shout.

Is he literally making fun of you at this time right now! “Oh It’s nothing Angel, just thinking about how I’m gonna warm you up tonight-“

“Oh shut up your dame pervert!” You exclaimed, your face was bright red. He only chuckled and started to say he’s sorry, he just really enjoys teasing you.

“You’re not teasing me! You’re just being a pervert! You-you dame pervert!” You shout in frustration. You couldn’t think of an good come back to say to him.

He smiles, as he pulls you closer to him. You snuggled against him; both enjoyed the moment, admiring how the sunset aluminates the lake.

Izana felt like he was in a dream. With his dream girl.

As you both kept admiring the lake, you were slowly dozing off to the sound of his heartbeat; beating, softly against your ear.

Izana felt your head leaned against his shoulder. He looked down at your figure, noticing how you had fallen asleep on him. He smiled softy, he slowly; and gently, sneaks his arm around your shoulders. Pulling you closer; you head slightly falls a little backwards, you sleepy face; unintentional, looks up at him.

…..

At the time, all Izana could do was admire you. He softy gazing down at you; he gently cresses your face with the back of his hand.

Izana quickly takes a look around, and then back at you.

He gently moves some of your hairs off your sleepily face, putting it behind your ear. He pulls you a little closer, adjusting yours and his face.

He had noticed that your lips had slightly parted itself a little. Most likely for a bit of air…

With that being noticed, Izana shyly placed his lips against yours.

All he wanted to do was to stop time, keep it like this, and never leave it.

The soft kiss lasted for a very long while, that was until you both jumped at the sound of a fire work exposition.

Quick as it happened, Izana jumped and fell backwards on the grass. He held the back of his hand over his mouth, a slight red hue on his cheeks. He looked up at the trees leaves, which were suddenly started to softy fall down one by one.

“Oh Izana! Did you see that! It’s a fire work! I forgot the fire work festival is today! Come on come on! Let go watch it!” You excitedly jumped up, and walked towards Izana; pulling him up.

You stated running to the direction of fires explorations with Izana holding into his hand. As you were talking to him, Izana zoned out for a bit.

He swore on his life, he felt you leaning in; kissing him back.

[[•PRESENT TIME: THE LAKE•]]

“Izana…”

The sound of his name being called out, snapped him out of his memory. Izana looks down at Bella, who had a frown plaster on her face.

She lightly sighs, and gently looks up at him. And suddenly, she smiles at him. It was a sad smile,

“Izana… you know…”

Bella starts, bitting her bottom lip softly; trying to control her emotions. “You know, a woman know when a man looks into her eyes and sees someone else.”

Izana stays quite. He can’t really argue with that, because it’s true. When he stares Bella, he sees (Yn); and there’s really nothing else but her.

“It’s okay… she… must’ve been real special, for you to always doze off.. twenty four seven huh..” Bella sadly smiles. She sighs and looks away, she gazes at the pond, and chuckles a little.

Izana looks at her questionably,

“No need to worry; or look at me with those scary eyes, I’m not laughing at you. Just a memory I had..” She confirms. She turns her body fully to pond, and admire how beautiful the place was.

“You’ve must’ve token her here too, you keep looking around; as if you remember something…” Bella stares ahead, as she says that.

As she stares at the lake, she suddenly turns and proceeds to walk away… leaving but stops mid way and looked back at Izana with a serious expression.

“You’ve lost your girl once.” She says firmly, she fully turns her head and body towards the man.

“Now it’s up to you to get her back.”

Izana was token aback by her words, “What are you on?” Izana snaps, He glared at her with irritation. Not liking that she’s melding in business that’s doesn’t concern her.

“Nothing, other than your business.” Bella snaps back. Again Izana was token aback by her sudden  attitude. “Izana, why don’t you shut up! And let me do the talking. I don’t know what your deal is today, but it’s obviously that you don’t want to be here.”

Bella…she’s a bold one…

“So why don’t you get your shit together and do something about it. Instead of wasting your dame life sulking, as a matter of fact. Why don’t you drink until your drunk that way you can spill all your little secrets out!” And with that being said, Bella pats Izana’s back and head off home. Leaving an stunned man behind.

…

‘She’s right what the hell am I even doing?’ Izana groans, as he too started heading off home. Exhausted by the event that happen today. Might as well call Kakucho while he’s at it huh…

“Hey, pick me up. The date? Not exactly how you planned it’ll go…. Uh.. well, let’s just say I need a dame drink.” And with that he ended the call, going to the place he told Kakucho to meet him at.

‘Why do you have to be everywhere…’ Izana sighs, he only hopes that this dame drink will help him forget.

But unbeknownst to him… it only cause him even more trouble…

A/n: Thanks for reading! Hoped you enjoyed! Stay safe and have a good day and night :)

WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

💥 ― a memory you wish you’d forget.

✩ New place, new name, new life --- that's what Ryu thought he'd achieved by choosing to stay in Twilight Town. Here, no one knew the truth about him (what he was, what he'd done) and it truly felt like things had changed for the better.

But then, one fateful afternoon, he hit a brick wall near the Sandlot when he bumped into one of the local youths. "Hey! Watch where you're going, loser!"

Ryu stopped dead in his tracks as he turned to glare at the taller punk, a seed of dark anger sprouting up in his chest.

"What did you just call me?!"

"You have ears, don't you?" the punk asked, scoffing. But a flash of recognition flared in his eyes as he gave Ryu a once-over, and his frown slowly became a scowl. "Haven't you already caused enough trouble in my town? Get lost now, before I make you."

Ryu couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the whole situation.

"My town, he says," Ryu taunted, crossing his arms. "Shut up! This place doesn't belong to you!"

The other boy's glare narrowed further as he rolled his shoulders and stepped forward into a fighting stance. "Ha! I'll gladly teach you that lesson, wuss!"

The fight didn't last long. Despite all his bluster and brute strength, the punk wasn't too good at keeping his guard up.

It ended when Ryu saw one final opening and threw all his weight into a tackle, pinning the other boy up against a wall. He felt the other boy flinch as his grip dug into his bruised ribs... but Ryu refused to loosen his hold one bit.

"Some lesson," Ryu snarled. "I hope you learned when to quit!"

The anger was still seething inside him like a monstrous beast, little tendrils of Darkness curling out to embrace and soothe him... but something felt wrong about this.

"Okay, okay, you win!" The boy said, grimacing. "Let it go!"

"THREAT DETECTED!" A new voice called out, and Ryu spared a glance to the alleyway where two other kids now stood --- one of them pointing right at him. "BACK OFF!"

Ryu dropped the other boy quickly and stepped back, letting go of the Darkness he'd been tapping into as it dawned on him that... these other kids saw him as something to be afraid of, and maybe they were right to be.

He'd nearly gone too far, and that was the last thing he wanted.

So, as the other kid's friends rushed in to help him, Ryu did the only thing he could do when confronted with all this fresh guilt and shame: he ran away.

"Don't worry, Seifer! We'll get 'em, y'know!"

The last thing Ryu heard, very faintly, was Seifer's pained voice saying, "No.... Don't go after him. He's..."

Ryu didn't need to hear anything else, though, because he knew how that sentence would end:

He's too dangerous.

#litoredeem #✩ let me explain this {asks} #✩ new kid on the block {verse} #[ spoiler: Ryu is wrong about that last part haha ] #[ Seifer isn't STUPID - I'm sure he saw the way Ryu's expression changed as well ] #[ and I think... he'd realize the kind of anger Ryu was showing is the kind that comes from PAIN ] #[ he's not a troublemaker - he's troubled ] #[ but Ryu avoids them and they avoid Ryu enough after this that it'd take a while to clear that up LOL ] #[ also: I'm rolling with the headcanon that Seifer DEFINITELY saw Riku skulking about Twilight Town before ] #[ haha this got longer than intended but I had too much fun with it so!!! ] #✩ {knight writes} #;long post

Hey! Anti-snily anon with his life updates again

I turned 18, 4 days ago, and I'm planning on proposing to my partner of 6 years, (we met at 12 years old, the relationship was meant as a joke, but as we got older we started catching feelings for each other.) I'm overall an awkward guy and I kind of need help on how to do it

(Of course we're not gonna get married at 18, we're probably gonna wait till we're both 19 or something) So yeah, any ideas?

OMGGGGG

1) HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!!!

2) OMGGG YOU’RE PROPOSING!? AAAHHHHHH IM TEARING UP

And you came to me for advice!? *sobs*

I’m like an excited mother looking up proposal ideas rn as I type this

Ok I made a list!

If you know how to cook, make them dinner and pop the question then! It can be something simple they like to eat!

Nature trail! Going on a walk together and enjoying nature is always nice. Find a nice spot where there’s nobody around and BAM 💥 UGH THE BEAUTY

If you have the ring already, have them “accidentally” find it (ofc be there when they find it). Then act all surprised then smootthllyyy slide the proposal in there 😉😏

Where did you first meet? Take a literal trip down memory lane and do it there!

Find the most sweet and romantic movie possible. Put it on and act like y’all are just watching a movie. Then on the most romantic part, get cheesy. I know you have a sense of humor, and a cheesy proposal is a proposal to remember. Imagine:

“Aw that’s beautiful…it makes me wanna get married🥺……..👀💍”

6. Movie theater. It’s a classic that can’t be beat IMO. Take them to a movie they’ve been dying to see, watch the movie like normal, then close to the end, if you already have a ring, put it on top on the popcorn…then just whisper: “what’s that on the popcorn👀💍” (I’m not responsible for any screaming done in the movie theater😌)

7. Coke bottles. You know the coke bottles that have a word on each one? Find one that says their name, then “Will. You. Marry. Me”… put them in the refrigerator for them to find. How adorable is that!?

Ok that’s all I got. Can you tell I’m a cheesy person? 😂

I’m so happy for you, luv!!🥺💚

#anti snily anon #I just dropped EVERYTHING to answer this ask😭 #I’m literally so happy for you 🥲 #OMG AAAHHH #ok I’m calm 😌

💥 ― a memory you wish you’d forget.

“You’re shitting me.” Sivana stares at the photographs, something cold clawing up his throat. The uncharacteristically colloquial expression makes his assistant shuffle uncomfortably from foot to foot.

“No, sir. It’s confirmed.”

“Captain Marvel is a ten year old child?” His voice rises, nearing a scream.

“Y...Yes, well, no, sir, Billy Batson is fourteen, I think...b-but-”

“A CHILD?” Sivana’s fists slam down onto the desk, making a pen skitter and jump from its surface, striking the floor and rolling until it hits the assistant’s shoe. “A CHILD has been kicking my ass for years and NOBODY figured out this little detail until TODAY?”

“It...it would appear so, s-” The sentence isn’t finished. A bolt of electricity has crossed the room, striking the unlucky man straight in the  chest. As his smoldering body crumples, Sivana’s yelling echoes far, far past his office door...

WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE.

✧ It has been raining for days --- the cold kind that seeps deeper and deeper into a person’s bones the longer they stand out in it. He’s been outside since the little hours of the morning, well before dawn, and while his abilities have kept him from growing too numb... he’s still freezing.

On his way back to the castle, he takes a shortcut through the gardens. Despite the warnings of an early frost, there is a single bush of roses in full bloom. Such strong, defiant flowers. 

He pushes aside the fear that this could be a bad omen. 

Late blossoms are not a warning of death.

As he makes a quick climb to her private quarters, however, he still feels like something is amiss. It’s not as warm as it should be in the stairwell or the hall, and when he stands just outside the door to her chambers he can feel a cold draft of air rush over his feet.

A seed of worry sprouts in his heart, then. Did something sneak by him? Could she have been hurt? He pushes the door open without knocking, calling out to her.

“Your Highness...?”

The princess is sitting by the open window, still in her night-dress. When she turns to face him, her face is all red and puffy, her cheeks glistening with tears. She holds a crumpled letter in her hands.

“No, Aaron,” Rin says, her voice breaking. “It’s...”

He can feel the sharpness of her heartache from across the room. Without thinking, he rushes to her side, his knees hitting the floor by her feet. Hie eyes flick over the parchment, catch on the last sentence.

May you live long and prosper, Queen Rin.

Walk down memory lane | ACCEPTING | @tempered-in-flames

It was something he never allowed himself to dwell on. He didn’t allow it into his head. To eat at him, to gnaw. Because once it was there it would stick. All that pride and arrogance was compensation. He wasn’t weak. At least it was what he was trying to convince the world, but even he had his moments. “Just shut up.” His fingers twitched and his knuckles cracked. The jeers weren’t important anymore.

He didn’t give a shit. His knuckles were bloody, seeing, seeping red, anger, hatred. His chest heaved with the weight of his breaths, they had been bigger then him. His parents were called and he said nothing. Didn’t explain, took the punishment and left it at that. Ignoring the way his mother yelled after him. “Not in the mood!”

Katsuki immediately slammed the door behind him before he sat on the bed rubbing his eyes. It was these moments where that damn nerd wasn’t up his ass, where he could be weak. The sting in his eyes making him even more angry pressing the heel of his hand to his eyes. “Dammit…”

Unraveling the 2008 Financial Crisis: A Global Economic Rollercoaster 🎢💼

Hey Tumblr fam! Today, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit one of the most significant events in recent economic history: the 2008 financial crisis. 📉💥

🔍 Root Causes: The crisis had multiple layers, but one of its key roots lay in the housing market. 🏠📉 The proliferation of subprime mortgages, bundled into complex financial products, created a ticking time bomb.

🔄 Ripple Effects: The crisis wasn't just confined to the financial sector; its impact rippled through various industries. 🌊📉 Governments worldwide scrambled to stabilize their economies, implementing stimulus packages and bailouts to prevent further collapse.

🌱 Seeds of Change: While the crisis brought immense hardship, it also catalyzed change. 🌱 Regulatory reforms like the Dodd-Frank Act in the U.S. aimed to prevent a recurrence by imposing stricter oversight on banks and financial institutions. It sparked conversations about the need for greater transparency and accountability in the financial world.

🌟 Lessons Learned: The 2008 financial crisis served as a harsh reminder of the interconnectedness of the global economy and the dangers of unchecked financial practices. 💡 It underscored the importance of risk management, prudent lending, and robust regulatory frameworks.

💬 Join the Conversation: What are your thoughts on the causes and impacts of the 2008 financial crisis? How do you think it has shaped the economic landscape in the years since? Let's chat! 💬🌐
